Multiwall Polycarbonate (PC), also known as channel plates or structured sheets, is the premier choice for applications where superior thermal insulation and structural lightness are paramount. Characterized by its multi-chambered internal geometry, Multiwall PC provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making it an ideal alternative to traditional glass in the construction and agricultural sectors. Engineered to withstand the variable climates of the UK and Benelux, these panels deliver high light diffusion, excellent U-values, and the long-term UV stability required for modern, energy-efficient façades and roofing systems.
Multiwall Polycarbonate (PC) is recognized for its extraordinary technical compliance and safety certifications. Information for all Plastic Classifications, Certificates and Standards is available for download in the following tab. Also see our informative page on plastic standards and certifications here.
| Chemical Resistance | Limited (Sensitive to certain cleaning agents; check technical data) |
| Thermal Performance | Optimized U-values (Heat loss reduction up to 50% vs. single glass) |
| Sustainability Certifications | 100% Recyclable Polymer (Fulfills UK Net Zero Goals) |
| Fire Safety | Classified B-s1, d0 (Euroclass) and UL 94 V-2/V-0 |
Choosing the correct Multiwall structure is essential for balancing light transmission with thermal insulation. Twinwall: Best for basic cladding and lightweight DIY carports. Multi-chamber X-Structure: The high-performance choice for industrial roofing and large spans where structural rigidity is required. Solar Control: Available in IR-reflective finishes to prevent excessive heat buildup in south-facing façades. Thermal Note: Multiwall PC maintains its structure up to 120 degrees Celsius, ensuring stability under intense summer sun without warping. See the full product range below for all specialized structures available.
